Posted this from last week, for those who didn’t read it:——
Cardiff manager win %
Dave Jones - 42%
Malky Mackay - 43%
Solskjaer - 30%
Russell Slade - 39%
Paul Trollope - 16%
Neil Warnock - 43%
Neil Harris - 46%
Had the season started when Neil Harris took charge, Cardiff would currently be in the Championship top two. Only Leeds (43) have collected more points than Cardiff’s 39
Doesn’t include Charlton and Bristol games
Yes very true, in fact no relegated side has ever won more than the 10 wins we managed in a 38 game season. 8 other teams also won 10 games and went down, including Warnock's Sheffield United team. It's particularly rare in more recent times, the last team to win 10 and go down before us, was Bolton in 2012.
Another oddity was that there wasn't a score draw among the four we managed and yet there's been so many of them this season.
The 13/14 side never managed the sort of comfortable two goal wins last season's team came up with against teams above them like Brighton and Man United away and Bournemouth and West Ham at home and the win at Leicester was an excellent result, we could and maybe should have stayed up, but matches like Burnley and Chelsea at home and Fulham away were the ones which sent us down.
I think that the term 'win percentages' is misleading. There again, I am someone who thinks that crowd attendance should reflect the number of people in the crowd and that COVID test numbers should reflect completed tests and their recorded results as opposed to tests merely sent out and results that have got lost.
